Vindictus: Defying Fate heads to PS5 next year
Developer Dongseok Oh and his team have officially confirmed that Vindictus: Defying Fate, a high-octane action-RPG, is coming to PS5 next year. The game is a medieval fantasy adventure set in a world inspired by Celtic mythology, where heroes battle colossal foes. Combat is central to the design, with each hero built around a distinct weapon and playstyle: Lann relies on chained dodges followed by quick strikes, while Fiona uses her shield to block and counterattack. Players can commit to a single hero or master several and switch depending on the situation. It's a promising pick-up for PlayStation fans of character-action games looking for something new.

Once Human season 5 arrives November 18
Once Human's fifth season, titled Dissonant Resonance, launches globally on November 18 and will be free to play. The season introduces the Sky Living-Machine Colossus, a massive co-op boss battle against a biomechanical pipe-organ titan that reacts to player gunfire and weaponizes the game's music and sound. The open world will also be warped by four Emotion Zones — Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Fear — that alter gameplay in erratic regions. The season builds on the game's New Weird design philosophy of twisting familiar things into nightmares. It's a substantial free content drop for PlayStation players already in the free-to-play shooter.
